SPAN '69 Declares Study Areas
Accepts 'B' Student Applications
The Minnesota SPAN Associa-tion
(Student Project for Amity
among Nations) announces selec-tion
of countries to be visited dur-ing
the summer of 1969. Students
will travel with faculty advisers
to Taiwan, Bolivia and Portugal.
Applications are now being ac-cepted
for the SPAN program.
SPAN is open to all students of
participating SPAN colleges and
Universities who have at least
one year of college and who have
approximately a "B" average or
better. A background in Spanish
required for those applying for
Bolivia. Applications for advi-sers
from College personnel are
also being accepted.
The students who are chosen will
take part in an orientation pro-gram
during the academic year
1968-1969. During the summer in
the SPAN country, they will carry
out an indeepndent study project
in an area of their own interest.
Twelve academic credits (eight
semester credits) will be grant-

Due to some snafu with that ar-rangement,
the CLARION was
brought to a small shop on Nicol-let
Avenue, in south Minneapolis.
It has remained there ever since.
Larson recalls having worked in
a printshop during his years in
high school at Minnehaha Acade-my.
On graduation, he was sent
abroad with the wave of Korean-bound
soldiers. He worked during
that time with a printing outfit
based in Tokyo printing army maps
for use on the front.

his own business. Buying out a
partner in 1964, he has since
moved his print shop into a larger
plant on the corner of Grand and
48th street, Minneapolis.

work publishing church bulletins,
(he is a member of the Evangeli-cal
Free Church), he used to pub-lish

Aided by his energetic mother
and wife, he mans the business

Some five or six hundred Baptist
youth from neary every continent
on the globe will descend on Berne
Switzerland during the third week
of July, this summer. Reason for
their meeting is the quadrenniel
assembly of the Baptist Youth
World Conference. This is the
seventh meeting since it first con-vened
in Prague, Czechoslovakia in
1931. Having missed a few beats
during the war, it has convened
since then in Zurich, Stockholm,
Rio de Janerio, Toronto, Beirut,
and now in Berne.
The six days of meetings will
include numerous prominent
evangelical speakers among them
Billy Graham. There will be in-formal
sessions in small groups,
dramatic presentations, and mu-sic.
Other speakers slated for the
sessions are Paul Tournier, well
known Swiss French psycholo-gist,

Reflecting on his relationship
with the CLARION, Larson re-calls
one occasion when Phil Cal-deen,
presently at Trinity Baptist,
sent the galley proofs by mistake
to New York, setting back the
CLARION calendar in grand style.
Recently, he says, the paper was
saved from the gaping mouth of
the incinerator and the innocent
but disastrous intent of a campus
janitor who unwittingly added the

A group from the college and
seminary is currently being organ-ized
by Clifford Anderson, of the
seminary. This group will go to
the Conference under the sponsor-ship
of the Board of Bible School
and Youth.
The tour, costing a total of
$645 includes major expenses
for a swing through northern
Europe after the conference is
over. This will include a two-day
stay in a number of East
German cities. The price tag

Board Sends Decision To Faculty
Asks Faculty To Have Patience
In the Bethel College Faculty Meeting held December 5, 1967, Dr.
Lundquist read to the faculty the following Statement from the Board
of Education:
. . The Board of Education shares the faculty's appreciation
of the many excellent characteristics of Dr. Robert Sandin and is
impressed by the high regard that the faculty has for 'him. It deeply
appreciates the extended faculty involvement in its consideration of
a dean. Nevertheless, the Board of Education senses adverse Confer-ence-
wide implications in this appointment and believes it wise not
to turn to Dr. Sandin as dean of the college at this time and trusts
that the faculty will have patience with its judgement. In the mean-time,
the Executive Commitee is asked to meet and come back to
the Board with a recommendation concerning the college deanship."

individuals, is really fit to be ed-itor.
So, too, it is with regret
that having been editor and feel-ing
that I have finally risen
above the energetic excitement,
that I must relinquish my post.
There is an old joke told about
foreign missionaries that is fit-ting
to the occasion. New mis-sionaries
are rather persnickety
about removing from their tea
all the bugs and extraneous ma-terial
common to the East. By
the second term, they lustily
down the whole with little dis-crimination
for such things. But
when missionaries are seen add-ing
to their tea such things as
bugs, sticks, paper, and other
such spices, one knows it is time
for them to retire.

THE ALBATROSS
Charles Baudelaire
Often, for pastime, mariners will ensnare
The albatross, that vast sea-bird who sweeps
On high companionable pinion where
Their vessel glides upon the bitter deeps.
Torn from his native space, this captive king
Flounders upon the deck in stricken pride,
And pitiably lets his great white wing
Drag like a heavy paddle at his side.
This rider of the winds, how awkward he is, and weak!
How droll he seems, who lately was all grace!
A sailor pokes a pipestem into his beak;
Another, hobbling, mocks his trammeled pace.
The Poet is like this monarch of the clouds,
Familiar of storms, of stars, and of all high things;
Exiled on earth amidst its hooting crowds,
He cannot walk, borne down by his giant wings.
translated by Richard Wilbur
Page 2 the CLARION Thursday, January 11, 1968 Editor Reflects On Year Of CLARION Job
Obsession For Unity
Threatens Conference
The early history of the Conference is largely the story
of a homogeneous group of Swedish immigrants that shared
enough in common to form an intimate religious fellowship.
This unity was a natural unity issuing out of not only similar
religious persuasions, but also a wealth of cultural similari-ties.
Today the Conference is quite another organization corn-posed
of diverse cultural elements (the majority of them
non-Swedish) as well as a wide spectrum of religious con-viction.
Yet the Conference is trying to preserve a facade
of unity in the face of seriously divisive issues. This is an
unnatural unity, the persistence of which is seriously under-mining
the strength of the Conference.
In the federal aid issue in Duluth last summer, the Con-ference
voted to reject federal aid, not so much because
it was incompatible with Conference feeling as a whole but
because a vociferous minority threatened to leave the Confer-ence
rolls if the aid was accepted. Acquiescing in the face of
these threats, many of the neutral delegates, to preserve the
traditional unity of the Conference, voted against the aid
(which really became a vote for unity, not against federal aid
as such.)
Most recently, this phenomenon was seen at work in
the rejection of Dr. Robert Sandin as dean for the college.
The decision was made on the part of district representa-tives
who met together in Chicago to hear the business pre-sented
by .Dr. Lundquist. A minority group of ultra-conserva-tives
were able, by questionable methods based more on fic-tion
than fact, to deter the majority of the delegates from
passing Sandin's approval. The decision was made not in
deference to the college—for its good or detriment—but to
pacify an unruly, irresponsible minority. All this in the name
of unity.
First of all, it is against the very distinctives that make
us Baptists to succumb to this kind of government. The Bap-tist
tradition is a democratic one that is proud of its provision
for independent, objective decisions in face of the facts. We are
undermining our very strength when the Conference persists
in facing issues in this manner.
This obsession for pseudo-unity will be the death of the
Conference because it impedes deliberate action at nearly every
point. For the Conference to go on in a vital ministry, it must
make decisions every day that will determine what it will be
tomorrow. As long as the leadership conceives of the Confer-ence
in terms of what it was yesterday, neither the college, nor
foreign missions, nor home missions, nor any of the other
ministries conducted by the Conference will be at 'their sharp-est
cutting edge'.
Whereas the strength of the Conference at one time
was in its intimate fellowship within a cultural framework,
today it must find its strength in its diversity. It can do that
by taking an aggressive, positive stand for what it knows as
right, and if need be, dispensing with the fellowship of some
of the members of the Conference if that is the only remain-ing
alternative.
It is interesting to note further that those who know least
about these cases are the ones who have influenced the deci-sions
most heavily. Martin Buber once said that "Hate is blind".
Why allow the blind to lead those who have good sight?
Sandin Affair Creates
A Legion Of Difficulties
The recent news that Dr. Sandin will not be coming to
Bethel as dean is a setback of major proportions. The CLARION
cannot allow this vital issue to go by without comment. Even
more than the negative decision on federal aid, this will af-fect
the progress of the school toward excellence.
First of all, the decision will inevitably have disastrous ef-fects
on the color and shape of the faculty. It can be expected
that those who remained at Bethel with the hope that Dr.
Sandin would come to the campus will now decide to leave
the school. Furthermore, those who were thinking of coming
to the college with the prospect of Sandin's coming will no
longer consider Bethel as an alternative.
This will in turn affect the kinds of students that Bethel
will attract. If this is an academic blow to the campus (which
it certainly is) than Bethel cannot expect to attract students
who have high academic credentials, and mature academic as-pirations.
This event is going to make it difficult for the faculty to
accept a second choice for dean. This unfortunate wake is go-ing
to cause some tension personally to whoever is mantelled
with the deanship next year. Such tensions militate against
the establishment of a solid academic program.
Finally, the rejection of Dr. Sandin has set in motion an
inertia in the Conference which will not be easily halted. The
effects of this decision, coupled with the federal aid issue will
be a serious impediment to the growth of the school in most
every respect.
Dear Readers:
Having served now as editor
of the CLARION for a full year,
it is with some relief that I ap-proach
the end of my responsi-bility.
I emerge from this year
of kaleidoscopic activity all the
more convinced that the campus
journal is probably the most
powerful single influence on the
college campus. This conviction
rises not only from my experi
ence with the CLARION but as
I have examined the roles of col-lege
papers across the nation.
It is becoming increasingly
true that peer groups are adopt-ing
homogeneuous listening pat-terns;
that is they are turning
increasingly to others of their
own generation for questions
and answers to life today here
in the world, 1968. This has the
potential of becoming one of
America's most serious prob-lems,
for isolated groups who
feed each other the produce of
one mentality are begging to be
destroyed.
The purpose of the CLARION
as I see it is to hold before the
students not only the significant
facts of news transpiring in im-portant
places like Saigon, as
well as the college's administra-tive
offices, but also opinion
that is designed to send this gen-eration
outside of itself and its
peers in a quest for reality to-day.
I pass on to my successor a
responsibility that he has not
yet begun to fathom, and will
probably only realize, as I have,
at the end of his year. Perhaps
it is true that only those who
have been through the mill of
Despite these long hours, I am
getting further and further behind
in my specialty, the sociology of
religion.
In the conviction that good Chris-tion
stewardship demands that I
specialize in that which I can do
most uniquely, I am moving to a
position that allows concentrated
work in my specialty within the
scope of regular on-the-job duties.
Dozens of others can teach in Beth-el's
liberal arts sociology program,
but few evangelicals have the op-portunity
to lead in the continuing
development of the sociology of
religion, a discipline in dire need

for potential opportunities for such

Surging Christian Services Activities SPIRE Staves Off Publication
Thrive Under Leadership Of Learns To Include Broader Coverage
The Bethel Gospel team pro-gram
for the first semester of
1967-68 is involving a near record
of students.
While some evaluators would
be quick to say that the amount
of student participation in this
area of campus life provides a
reliable reading of the campus'
spiritual condition, and thus,
that the campus is presently ex-periencing
an elevated condition,
may be a hasty conclusion.
In actuality, active participation
of students in gospel team work
may be the manifestation, large-ly,
of an efficient program admin-istrator
behind its program.
Such a statement is in no way
to de-value the vital elements
of Christian enthusiasm and fer-vor
in gospel team work, yet,
at the same time, it must be
recognized that no amount of
these qualities alone can guar-antee
the success of the pro-gram.
Thus, the weakness of
past Christian Service programs
may, in some sense, be attribu-ted
to inadequate organization,
and not, as has been implied, to
the frailty of the student's spir-itual
condition.
Well aware of the importance
of efficient organization in a pro-gram's
success is Bill Ledkins,
Ethel senior, and Director of Gos-pel
Teams at Bethel. Bill, utilizing
all the techniques of the business
world, has hammered the Gospel
Team division of the Christian
Service Department into a respec-table
and progressive student ac-tivity.
The 1967-68 program, under
the direction of Ledkins, began
early in the fall of this year

brochure about Bethel's gospel
team services sent to all church-es
in a 300-mile radius of the
campus. Five types of services
are outlined in this letter. These
include: 1) Deeper Life; 2) Evan-gelical;
3) Sacred Music; 4) Mis-sionary;
and 5) Youth Emphasis.
While students are encouraged
to form permanent teams with
which to work during the whole
year, generally, new combinations
of speakers and music groups are
arranged for each particular as-signment.
Team combinations are
made up in the following way:
The music department maintains
a ready list of all available vocal-ists
and instrumentalists. When
Bill receives from a church a re-quest
for a gospel team, he first
issues this request to the music
department representatives.
They, in turn, fill the particular
assignment with musicians, and
Bill, from a list of available speak-ers,
coordinates a speaker with
them. In addition, Bill sends two
confirmations of the gospel team
selection to the receiving church.
The second one of these specifies
exactly who is coming and the de-

Mr. Mogck's regional duties in-clude
a six state area of Wiscon-sin,

tails of the service. Then, the
day before the team deputate, it
meets together with Bill for prayer
and last-minute instructions.
The biggest ministry of gospel
team work is with church con-gregations
and youth organiza-tions.
Bill finds that the great-est
number of requests come
for the Deeper Life type of serv-ice
with the sacred music type
of service falling second in de-mand.
There is also a great deal
of overlap here as requests for
deeper life services are many
times used for youth emphasis
programs.
In numbers, the gospel team
work at Bethel has already in-volved
160 students and has served
more than 80 different churches.
On the basis of follow-up commun-ication
with these church, Bill has
found the gospel team work to
be a most successful and impres-sive
method of presenting Bethel,
its dedication, and its students. A

was to allow more time to solicit
advertising.
Karen NewComb, current editor-in-
chief states, "It will be a much
better annual because of the add-ed
coverage of spring activities
without the worry of a summer
supplement."
"The practice of handing out
annuals in the fall is an increas-ingly
popular custom among many
colleges," says the release, "par-ticularly
in the Twin Cities ar-eas".
Part of the rationale is also
to take pressure off the staff mem-bers
who are carrying full-time
academic loads.
All graduating seniors and non-returning
students will be mailed
their copies, and returning stu-dents
will have them available in
September.

Letter:
TO: Jerry Loomis, Sports Editor
RE: Sports Editorial in the December 8 Clarion
The editorial you wrote in the Dec. 8 issue of the Clarion
was apparently based on gross ignorance. The statements were
incorrect and poorly presented and if they should reach Augs-burg
College it could cause a real breach in our athletic rela-tionships.
Our athletic program is not based upon reactionary
principles or people. This type of editorial can be classified as
"bush league" or "hot dog" writing.
Augsburg College athletics are highly respectable and com-petitive.
We are proud of the victory our squad won and don't
feel like spoiling it with a cheap editorial. The right to write
and speak is necessary, but with it comes responsibility and
respectability.
There was some confusion in the scheduling which was
taken care of on the phone Monday. We play Augsburg Col-lege
again on February 5, 1968 and plan on beating them again
if at all possible. We also plan on a continuing athletic interest
with Augsburg College without the petty grievances stated in
your editorial.
Any statements of this nature should be cleared through
our department and cannot be based on false rumor. We soli-cit
your continued support but do not need your sympathy or
reactionary writing.
Maurice Shields
Acting Athletic Director
But the second half proved to be
the disastrous one. Stout State
quickly grabbed a lead which they
never relinquished. The Royals
climbed to within 2 points midway
in the second half but slipped in
the final quarter of the game.
Pederson spearheaded the Roy-al's
scoring attack with 23 points.
Freshman guards Lowell Rich-ardson
and Dan Larson racked
up 15 and 13 respectively. Tim
Weko added 12 to the losing

Some five or six hundred Baptist

1931. Having missed a few beats
during the war, it has convened
since then in Zurich, Stockholm,

Board Sends Decision To Faculty
Asks Faculty To Have Patience
In the Bethel College Faculty Meeting held December 5, 1967, Dr.
Lundquist read to the faculty the following Statement from the Board
of Education:
. . The Board of Education shares the faculty's appreciation
of the many excellent characteristics of Dr. Robert Sandin and is
impressed by the high regard that the faculty has for 'him. It deeply
appreciates the extended faculty involvement in its consideration of
a dean. Nevertheless, the Board of Education senses adverse Confer-ence-
wide implications in this appointment and believes it wise not
to turn to Dr. Sandin as dean of the college at this time and trusts
that the faculty will have patience with its judgement. In the mean-time,
the Executive Commitee is asked to meet and come back to
the Board with a recommendation concerning the college deanship."

individuals, is really fit to be ed-itor.
So, too, it is with regret
that having been editor and feel-ing
that I have finally risen
above the energetic excitement,
that I must relinquish my post.
There is an old joke told about
foreign missionaries that is fit-ting
to the occasion. New mis-sionaries
are rather persnickety
about removing from their tea
all the bugs and extraneous ma-terial
common to the East. By
the second term, they lustily
down the whole with little dis-crimination
for such things. But
when missionaries are seen add-ing
to their tea such things as
bugs, sticks, paper, and other
such spices, one knows it is time
for them to retire.

THE ALBATROSS
Charles Baudelaire
Often, for pastime, mariners will ensnare
The albatross, that vast sea-bird who sweeps
On high companionable pinion where
Their vessel glides upon the bitter deeps.
Torn from his native space, this captive king
Flounders upon the deck in stricken pride,
And pitiably lets his great white wing
Drag like a heavy paddle at his side.
This rider of the winds, how awkward he is, and weak!
How droll he seems, who lately was all grace!
A sailor pokes a pipestem into his beak;
Another, hobbling, mocks his trammeled pace.
The Poet is like this monarch of the clouds,
Familiar of storms, of stars, and of all high things;
Exiled on earth amidst its hooting crowds,
He cannot walk, borne down by his giant wings.
translated by Richard Wilbur
Page 2 the CLARION Thursday, January 11, 1968 Editor Reflects On Year Of CLARION Job
Obsession For Unity
Threatens Conference
The early history of the Conference is largely the story
of a homogeneous group of Swedish immigrants that shared
enough in common to form an intimate religious fellowship.
This unity was a natural unity issuing out of not only similar
religious persuasions, but also a wealth of cultural similari-ties.
Today the Conference is quite another organization corn-posed
of diverse cultural elements (the majority of them
non-Swedish) as well as a wide spectrum of religious con-viction.
Yet the Conference is trying to preserve a facade
of unity in the face of seriously divisive issues. This is an
unnatural unity, the persistence of which is seriously under-mining
the strength of the Conference.
In the federal aid issue in Duluth last summer, the Con-ference
voted to reject federal aid, not so much because
it was incompatible with Conference feeling as a whole but
because a vociferous minority threatened to leave the Confer-ence
rolls if the aid was accepted. Acquiescing in the face of
these threats, many of the neutral delegates, to preserve the
traditional unity of the Conference, voted against the aid
(which really became a vote for unity, not against federal aid
as such.)
Most recently, this phenomenon was seen at work in
the rejection of Dr. Robert Sandin as dean for the college.
The decision was made on the part of district representa-tives
who met together in Chicago to hear the business pre-sented
by .Dr. Lundquist. A minority group of ultra-conserva-tives
were able, by questionable methods based more on fic-tion
than fact, to deter the majority of the delegates from
passing Sandin's approval. The decision was made not in
deference to the college—for its good or detriment—but to
pacify an unruly, irresponsible minority. All this in the name
of unity.
First of all, it is against the very distinctives that make
us Baptists to succumb to this kind of government. The Bap-tist
tradition is a democratic one that is proud of its provision
for independent, objective decisions in face of the facts. We are
undermining our very strength when the Conference persists
in facing issues in this manner.
This obsession for pseudo-unity will be the death of the
Conference because it impedes deliberate action at nearly every
point. For the Conference to go on in a vital ministry, it must
make decisions every day that will determine what it will be
tomorrow. As long as the leadership conceives of the Confer-ence
in terms of what it was yesterday, neither the college, nor
foreign missions, nor home missions, nor any of the other
ministries conducted by the Conference will be at 'their sharp-est
cutting edge'.
Whereas the strength of the Conference at one time
was in its intimate fellowship within a cultural framework,
today it must find its strength in its diversity. It can do that
by taking an aggressive, positive stand for what it knows as
right, and if need be, dispensing with the fellowship of some
of the members of the Conference if that is the only remain-ing
alternative.
It is interesting to note further that those who know least
about these cases are the ones who have influenced the deci-sions
most heavily. Martin Buber once said that "Hate is blind".
Why allow the blind to lead those who have good sight?
Sandin Affair Creates
A Legion Of Difficulties
The recent news that Dr. Sandin will not be coming to
Bethel as dean is a setback of major proportions. The CLARION
cannot allow this vital issue to go by without comment. Even
more than the negative decision on federal aid, this will af-fect
the progress of the school toward excellence.
First of all, the decision will inevitably have disastrous ef-fects
on the color and shape of the faculty. It can be expected
that those who remained at Bethel with the hope that Dr.
Sandin would come to the campus will now decide to leave
the school. Furthermore, those who were thinking of coming
to the college with the prospect of Sandin's coming will no
longer consider Bethel as an alternative.
This will in turn affect the kinds of students that Bethel
will attract. If this is an academic blow to the campus (which
it certainly is) than Bethel cannot expect to attract students
who have high academic credentials, and mature academic as-pirations.
This event is going to make it difficult for the faculty to
accept a second choice for dean. This unfortunate wake is go-ing
to cause some tension personally to whoever is mantelled
with the deanship next year. Such tensions militate against
the establishment of a solid academic program.
Finally, the rejection of Dr. Sandin has set in motion an
inertia in the Conference which will not be easily halted. The
effects of this decision, coupled with the federal aid issue will
be a serious impediment to the growth of the school in most
every respect.
Dear Readers:
Having served now as editor
of the CLARION for a full year,
it is with some relief that I ap-proach
the end of my responsi-bility.
I emerge from this year
of kaleidoscopic activity all the
more convinced that the campus
journal is probably the most
powerful single influence on the
college campus. This conviction
rises not only from my experi
ence with the CLARION but as
I have examined the roles of col-lege
papers across the nation.
It is becoming increasingly
true that peer groups are adopt-ing
homogeneuous listening pat-terns;
that is they are turning
increasingly to others of their
own generation for questions
and answers to life today here
in the world, 1968. This has the
potential of becoming one of
America's most serious prob-lems,
for isolated groups who
feed each other the produce of
one mentality are begging to be
destroyed.
The purpose of the CLARION
as I see it is to hold before the
students not only the significant
facts of news transpiring in im-portant
places like Saigon, as
well as the college's administra-tive
offices, but also opinion
that is designed to send this gen-eration
outside of itself and its
peers in a quest for reality to-day.
I pass on to my successor a
responsibility that he has not
yet begun to fathom, and will
probably only realize, as I have,
at the end of his year. Perhaps
it is true that only those who
have been through the mill of
Despite these long hours, I am
getting further and further behind
in my specialty, the sociology of
religion.
In the conviction that good Chris-tion
stewardship demands that I
specialize in that which I can do
most uniquely, I am moving to a
position that allows concentrated
work in my specialty within the
scope of regular on-the-job duties.
Dozens of others can teach in Beth-el's
liberal arts sociology program,
but few evangelicals have the op-portunity
to lead in the continuing
development of the sociology of
religion, a discipline in dire need
of Chrstiian work and witness.

and misinterpretations, hence
this letter.
For most of my 19 years at
Bethel College I have been leading
a double life. I have been a teach-er
and department chairman with
all of the associated roles and du-ties
and also a social scientist try-ing
to contribute to both pure and
applied aspects of my discipline.
Each of these has been more than
a full-time job with but little over-lap;
my typical working week for
about fifty weeks of the year has
been from 80 to 90 hours, and
100 hours has not been unusual.

Anybody knows how to do it. '
The Post then revealed, "Once—
in Phoenix—the Mamas and the

under control." (p. 41).

stitutions, I have accepted the posi-tion
of Professor of Sociology and
Chairman of the Department of So-ciology
and Anthropology at Mar-quette
University in Milwaukee as
of September 1, 1968. I will lead
in the development of a program
in the sociology of religion, as well
as of the Department as a whole,
and will work with a new Center
for Theology in Public Life. My
evangelical Christian activities can
also be pursued without compro-mise
and with the moral support of
the University.
I believe Marquette will become
a major center for educating Chris-tions
in the sociology of religion
and related subjects and invite in-terested
graduating seniors to con-sider
joining me there.

Surging Christian Services Activities SPIRE Staves Off Publication
Thrive Under Leadership Of Learns To Include Broader Coverage
The Bethel Gospel team pro-gram
for the first semester of
1967-68 is involving a near record
of students.
While some evaluators would
be quick to say that the amount
of student participation in this
area of campus life provides a
reliable reading of the campus'
spiritual condition, and thus,
that the campus is presently ex-periencing
an elevated condition,
may be a hasty conclusion.
In actuality, active participation
of students in gospel team work
may be the manifestation, large-ly,
of an efficient program admin-istrator
behind its program.
Such a statement is in no way
to de-value the vital elements
of Christian enthusiasm and fer-vor
in gospel team work, yet,
at the same time, it must be
recognized that no amount of
these qualities alone can guar-antee
the success of the pro-gram.
Thus, the weakness of
past Christian Service programs
may, in some sense, be attribu-ted
to inadequate organization,
and not, as has been implied, to
the frailty of the student's spir-itual
condition.
Well aware of the importance
of efficient organization in a pro-gram's
success is Bill Ledkins,
Ethel senior, and Director of Gos-pel
Teams at Bethel. Bill, utilizing
all the techniques of the business
world, has hammered the Gospel
Team division of the Christian
Service Department into a respec-table
and progressive student ac-tivity.
The 1967-68 program, under
the direction of Ledkins, began
early in the fall of this year
with an introductory letter and

brochure about Bethel's gospel
team services sent to all church-es
in a 300-mile radius of the
campus. Five types of services
are outlined in this letter. These
include: 1) Deeper Life; 2) Evan-gelical;
3) Sacred Music; 4) Mis-sionary;
and 5) Youth Emphasis.
While students are encouraged
to form permanent teams with
which to work during the whole
year, generally, new combinations
of speakers and music groups are
arranged for each particular as-signment.
Team combinations are
made up in the following way:
The music department maintains
a ready list of all available vocal-ists
and instrumentalists. When
Bill receives from a church a re-quest
for a gospel team, he first
issues this request to the music
department representatives.
They, in turn, fill the particular
assignment with musicians, and
Bill, from a list of available speak-ers,
coordinates a speaker with
them. In addition, Bill sends two
confirmations of the gospel team
selection to the receiving church.
The second one of these specifies
exactly who is coming and the de-
Mr. Oliver Mogck, member of
the Bethel music department was
recently honored in the annual
post Christmas convention of the
National Association of Teachers
of Singing when he was elected
regional director of the organiza-tion.
Mr. Mogck's regional duties in-clude
a six state area of Wiscon-sin,
Minnesota, Iowa, North and
South Dakota, and Nebraska. Mr.
Mogck has been president of the
Minnesota chapter of this organ-ization
for the past two years.
His primary responsibilities will
include the encouragement of the

tails of the service. Then, the
day before the team deputate, it
meets together with Bill for prayer
and last-minute instructions.
The biggest ministry of gospel
team work is with church con-gregations
and youth organiza-tions.
Bill finds that the great-est
number of requests come
for the Deeper Life type of serv-ice
with the sacred music type
of service falling second in de-mand.
There is also a great deal
of overlap here as requests for
deeper life services are many
times used for youth emphasis
programs.
In numbers, the gospel team
work at Bethel has already in-volved
160 students and has served
more than 80 different churches.
On the basis of follow-up commun-ication
with these church, Bill has
found the gospel team work to
be a most successful and impres-sive
method of presenting Bethel,
its dedication, and its students. A
comment from one such letter
reads, "Their voices were truly
a delight and their songs were a
wonderful testimony of their love
for their Lord."

In what came as a surprise an-nouncement,
the SPIRE staff re-cently
announced through the
CLARION that the school annual
will not be released until Septem-ber
of this year. Customarily, the
annual has come out at the end
of the school year during the all-school
banquet.
"Publishing the annual later will
enable the book to have full cov-erage
including all spring sports
and social events as well as com-mencement
exercises," says the
news bulletin. Another factor in
the decision to come out later
was to allow more time to solicit
advertising.
Karen NewComb, current editor-in-
chief states, "It will be a much
better annual because of the add-ed
coverage of spring activities
without the worry of a summer
supplement."
"The practice of handing out
annuals in the fall is an increas-ingly
popular custom among many
colleges," says the release, "par-ticularly
in the Twin Cities ar-eas".
Part of the rationale is also
to take pressure off the staff mem-bers
who are carrying full-time
academic loads.
All graduating seniors and non-returning
students will be mailed
their copies, and returning stu-dents
will have them available in
September.

Letter:
TO: Jerry Loomis, Sports Editor
RE: Sports Editorial in the December 8 Clarion
The editorial you wrote in the Dec. 8 issue of the Clarion
was apparently based on gross ignorance. The statements were
incorrect and poorly presented and if they should reach Augs-burg
College it could cause a real breach in our athletic rela-tionships.
Our athletic program is not based upon reactionary
principles or people. This type of editorial can be classified as
"bush league" or "hot dog" writing.
Augsburg College athletics are highly respectable and com-petitive.
We are proud of the victory our squad won and don't
feel like spoiling it with a cheap editorial. The right to write
and speak is necessary, but with it comes responsibility and
respectability.
There was some confusion in the scheduling which was
taken care of on the phone Monday. We play Augsburg Col-lege
again on February 5, 1968 and plan on beating them again
if at all possible. We also plan on a continuing athletic interest
with Augsburg College without the petty grievances stated in
your editorial.
Any statements of this nature should be cleared through
our department and cannot be based on false rumor. We soli-cit
your continued support but do not need your sympathy or
reactionary writing.
Maurice Shields
Acting Athletic Director
But the second half proved to be
the disastrous one. Stout State
quickly grabbed a lead which they
never relinquished. The Royals
climbed to within 2 points midway
in the second half but slipped in
the final quarter of the game.
Pederson spearheaded the Roy-al's
scoring attack with 23 points.
Freshman guards Lowell Rich-ardson
and Dan Larson racked
up 15 and 13 respectively. Tim
Weko added 12 to the losing
cause.
The victorious Stout State team
was led by the scoring of Cal Glov-er
and Greg Ebsen and the re-bounding
of Mel Coleman. Glover
Bethel finally snapped a seven
game losing streak with a thrilling
come-from-behind victory over Mi-not
in their last game before the
resumption of classes.
In pre-vacation action the Royals
fell to Macalester 77-65 December
9th, as Ron Pederson scored 27
in a losing cause. The cagers then
battled an unbeaten Carleton quin-tet

Bill Malyon came off the bench
to score 16.
In the first game of the vaca-tion
period, Bethel journeyed to
Sioux Falls and dropped an 87-69
encounter, although the Royals
played much better than in their
first loss to the South Dakota
team. Sioux Falls' 27-13 edge at the
charity line told much of the story.
December 18 the cagers contin-ued
their vacation action at North-western
of Iowa, where they were
defeated 91-72. Pederson was again
high point man with 23.
Thursday, December 21, the Roy-als
took on St. Thomas in a pre-liminary
game to the Minnesota
Muskies at the Metropolitan Sports
Center, and came out on the short
end of an 85-61 score. A pair of
freshman guards, Lowell Richard-son
and Dan Larson, combined to
spark the Royals with 28 points,
while Pederson added 16.
To conclude vacation action,
Bethel traveled to North Dakota to
compete in the Mayville tourna-ment,
December 28-29. They lost
their first game to host Mayville,
109-90, despite Larson's 27 points.
However the Royals bounced back
to tin Minot 75-74 in the consola-tion
bracket of the tourney to end
their loss skien at seven. Peder-son
led the way with 25, while
Richardson and Robertson chipped
in with 14 and 10, respectively.
